Definitions

  • the invention relates to a breast prosthesis, consisting of a shell-shaped body made of a soft-elastically adjusted addition-crosslinking two-component silicone rubber compound, which is welded into plastic films that cover the outside and inside.
  • a particular problem with breast prostheses of this type is to fasten them to the wearer's breast in a manner that is as non-slip as possible.
  • the fastening is carried out by inserting the prosthesis bodies into the cups of a bra, which can be provided with insert pockets in addition to holding the prosthesis bodies.
  • a particularly favorable mounting of a breast prosthesis can be achieved if it is directly on the skin or the Scar area that is attached to the wearer.
  • a breast prosthesis of the type specified at the outset which is known from EP-A-392 960, is provided within a circumferential lip-shaped edge on its rear side with a circumferential shoulder formed by a shoulder, on which adhesive strips or adhesive pieces are attached which adhere to the adhesive areas on the body strips attached to the woman by skin-friendly adhesives interact in such a way that the prosthesis can be connected to and detached from the adhesive strips adhering to the skin.
  • a Velcro connection is provided as the preferred fastening means. This type of attachment is relatively cumbersome because the woman must first stick an adhesive strip on her skin to put the prosthesis on, which is formed on the outside as part of a Velcro connection or has a connection area that can be adhesively connected to the subsequently attached prosthesis.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a breast prosthesis of the type specified at the outset, which can be easily and directly attached to the skin of a wearer.
  • this object is achieved in the case of a breast prosthesis of the type specified at the outset by providing it on its rear side in its edge region with a layer which remains permanently sticky.
  • a layer which remains permanently sticky Such permanently adhesive layers based on plastic are known. These layers have the particular advantage that they enable the breast prosthesis to be glued to the wearer's skin without the sticky layer remaining on the wearer's skin after the prosthesis has been removed.
  • the layer expediently consists of individual sticky areas arranged at a distance from one another.
  • the permanently sticky layer is advantageously formed all around.
  • the edge of the prosthesis is provided on its rear side with a circumferential groove in which the adhesive layer is embedded.
  • the adhesive layer is expediently protected by an attached cover film. This is removed before the prosthesis is put on.
  • a release film is placed in the groove on a lower adhesive layer, on which an outer adhesive layer is applied. If, after frequent replacement of the prosthesis, the outer adhesive layer has lost its stickiness, it can simply be removed so that it is then glued to the unused inner adhesive layer.
  • the outer adhesive layer is also expediently protected by a release film which can be removed before use.
  • the permanently sticky layer expediently consists of a tacky addition-crosslinking two-component silicone rubber composition.
  • This adhesive layer can be introduced after the manufacture of the prosthesis or also during manufacture into the groove provided for receiving it.
  • the permanently sticky layer is expediently applied to a carrier film which is bonded or welded to the film enveloping the prosthesis. If the permanently sticky layer consists of a tacky addition-crosslinking two-component silicone rubber compound, it can be placed in a mold together with the carrier film and cured in it.
  • the carrier film carrying the permanently sticky layer can be glued to the prosthesis cover with a hot melt adhesive.
  • Such gluing can expediently take place in the manufacture of the prosthesis by applying the carrier film to the corresponding location on the prosthesis and then gluing it to the prosthesis sleeve during the curing process.
  • the permanently sticky layer is applied to a carrier film, the back of which can be connected by a releasable adhesive connection to the complementary adhesive layer of a connecting film bonded or welded to the film enveloping the prosthesis. If the permanent adhesive layer has lost its stickiness after a long period of use, it can be removed together with its carrier film and replaced with a new carrier film bearing a fresh permanent adhesive layer.
  • the connecting film which can be connected to the carrier film by a releasable adhesive connection, is expediently glued to the prosthesis cover by a hot melt adhesive.
  • the detachable adhesive connection expediently consists of a Velcro connection.
  • the releasable adhesive connection between the carrier film and the connecting film is preferably designed such that its adhesive force is greater than the adhesive force of the permanently sticky layer on the wearer's skin.
  • the breast prosthesis has only been shown schematically in the drawing.
  • the prosthesis body itself advantageously has a shape as is known from DE-GM 90 10 426.
  • the prosthesis body 1 is provided on its rear side at a distance from the circumferential lip-shaped edge 2 with a flat circumferential groove 3.
  • the prosthesis body 1 is produced in this form, both the outside of the prosthesis and the cup-shaped inside of the prosthesis being covered with a polyurethane film which is welded to one another along the edge of the prosthesis.
  • the flat circumferential groove is also covered in this way by a polyurethane film.
  • a first layer 4 which remains permanently sticky is applied to the bottom of the groove 3. This layer is covered by a separating film 5 to which a second layer 6 which remains permanently sticky is applied.
  • the outer adhesive layer 6 is in turn protected by a cover sheet 7 before its first use.
